Expedition has reached BC: Today, the members of the Himountain Nanga Parbat
Winter Expedition reached the base camp without any obstacles. The first snow
appeared just above Islamabad, so there was a possibility that the
snow-covered path to the base would be really hard to trudge. Fortunately, it
turned out that the path had already been cleared and the expedition had no
problems with marching along it.

At night the temperature on Karakorum Highway drops to
-20° C. Such low temperatures forced the members of the expedition to put
on insulated extreme-clothing earlier than planned - especially high
altitude boots in order to warm their feet at night. Those are real winter
conditions. For the time being, the weather is fine – it’s sunny, without
wind. At noon, the temperature even reached 2 degrees above zero, yet soon
afterwards it dropped to minus seven.
